On Post

I was sitting at home reading over the news

It seems the state’s passed a new bill

That a woman seeking to abort her child

Must first have a sonogram revealed

I read a comment a woman had made

“This is stupid and a waste of our tax dollars”

It angered my heart so that a person could see

The possibility of saving a life as a bother

It’s times like this when I need you the most

We’re a dying breed, baby you and me both

When this night watch goes on and I become weary

I long for a partner to help me guard our post

I walked to the store to run an errand

It was just a short trip I figured ‘why drive?’

As I stood in line I noticed someone’s shirt

That said “CHRISTIANS TO THE LIONS”

It troubled my heart on my walk back home

I wondered how I could ever reach those people

How can I assure them of Who Christ truly is

In a world so consumed in evil?

It’s times like this when I need you the most

We’re a dying breed, baby you and me both

When this night watch goes on and I become weary

I long for a partner to help me guard our post

It seems to me there’s so much to do

I know in my heart I won’t have much strength in this battle

If I’m not fighting it with you

There are people to love and lives to change

And though I’m only one person

I know my God will see to it

That I’ll be used for His purpose

And when you come, my love I know

There will be nothing to stop us from flying

Together we’ll fight against the spirits of this world

Hand in hand we’ll help those who are dying

It’s times like then when we’ll need God the most

We’re a dying breed, baby and we need Him you know

When our night watch goes on and we become weary

It’s He who will forever guard our post
